Live: Albanese and Dutton back in Sydney for Good Friday’s campaign trail

National political lead David Speers spoke with News Breakfast earlier this morning, to talk about how both leaders have gone this week.

“It was a more even week, point is Peter Dutton needs more than even weeks, he needs to be winning weeks.

“Given where he is, where the polls suggest this race is at, he needs something to turn it around,” Speers said.

Both campaigns are in Sydney today for a bit of a breather, as voters switch off for the long weekend.

Apart from some light campaigning — perhaps some charitable visit or even a trip to a church — it’s set to be a time to reload.

Both campaigns know they’ve had their last real chance to pitch to the electorate before early voting begins on Tuesday.

That’s why we’ve had such a policy-heavy week.

But as we know, even the most innocuous campaign stop can produce an unexpected moment.

So let’s not count our chickens on a long weekend lull just yet!

 Good morning and happy Good Friday to those who celebrate!

Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton are back in Sydney for the campaign trail today.

Friends of the blog Tom Crowley and Olivia Caisley are on the media buses, to bring us all the action from there.
